Both the Boys and Girls swim teams were in action on Wednesday night in Roanoke. The Cavaliers were competing with Jefferson Forrest and Northside and there is hope in uncovering the results from their efforts. Stay Tuned

All photos of any Cavaliers in action are always welcome and as always the pictures posted are free of charge if you find one you like.

Carroll County travels West for a tri- meet with Galax and the host Blue Devils. Coach Bronson Bowman and his squad will open the action facing Grayson at 6pm

The goal tonight will be to catch as many of these student athletes in action and later have Coach give his thoughts on his team and their efforts.

Currently wrestling at 190 with 215 and Heavyweight to follow.

6:35 pm – Opening Match with Grayson County is complete and after a short break the Cavaliers will take on Galax High School.

No pre-match introductions with Grayson County not competing. This struck me as rather odd being that I can’t imagine a School basketball team only announcing their starting players and omitting the visitors. But I should add that I don’t have a great deal of experience with Tri-meets so maybe it’s the norm.

I had the opportunity to introduce myself to the Coach after the conclusion of the matches and look forward to working with him going forward !

Looking forward to sharing information about the team as it becomes available!

The Boys and Girls Swim teams will head up to Roanoke (Northside HS) Wednesday night while the Wrestling team will cross over the County Line to the West for a match with the Grayson County Blue Devils.

We will do our best to track down some Cavalier results !

The final score reads Floyd County 65, Carroll County 56 and that is how the game will be recorded but the Cavaliers simply gave the Buffaloes everything that they could handle and then some.

The Cavaliers were forced to play catch up throughout the evening after Floyd recorded 9 points before CCHS could catch its collective breath.

Let’s start out by giving credit to the Student section for having the teams back for 32 minutes despite the slow start. Every time the Cavaliers cut ✂️ into the early deficit the gym would get a little louder.

Jumping to early in the fourth quarter the Cavs had once again fallen just short on a comeback bid and suddenly trailed 48-40 with less than five minutes remaining. In a blink of an eye Elijah Cox wrapped two sets of free throws around a put back basket by Davis Reitzel. Just like that the lead was 48-46 and Floyd knew they were going to be in a battle until the end.

Sadly for the home team Reitzel picked up his fourth foul in a very physical contest and Floyd ran off the next 12 points to push the lead to 60-46.

Once again the Cavs were down but far from out of it and managed to score 10 more points before the final horn. Cox finished the night with 23 points , scoring 19 after the break. Reitzel joined Cox in double figures with 11 points and Bryce Smoot added 10 more.

Jabin Talley scored 7 points and Ethan Richardson tallied 5 points as the Cavaliers finished their second of four games this week with a very gritty effort that left them just short on the score sheet.

If the Cavaliers can continue to play as hard as they did tonight you have to like their chances in every contest the rest of the season. We can test that theory quickly as Fort Chiswell comes down US-52 Thursday night.
